Abstract

A large and reliable citation database is necessary to identify and analyze citation behavior of Korean researchers in science and technology. Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) built the Korea Science Citation Database (KSCD), and have provided Korea Science Citation Index (KSCI) and Korea Journal Citation Reports (KJCR) services. In this article, citing behavior of Korean scientists on Korean journals was examined by using the KSCD that covers 459 Korean core journals. This research dealt with (1) statistical numeric information of journals in KSCD, (2) analysis of document types cited, (3) ratio of domestic to international documents cited and ratio of citing different disciplines, (4) analysis on immediacy index, peak time, and half-life of cited documents, and (5) analysis on impact of journals based on KJCR citation indicators. From this research, we could find the immediacy citation rate (average 2.36%), peak-time (average 1.7 years) and half-life (average 5.2 years) of cited journals in Korea. We also found that the average journal self-citation rate is more than 50% in every field. In sum, citing behavior of Korean scientists on Korean journals was comprehensively identified from this research.

국내 과학기술 분야 연구자들의 인용행태를 종합적으로 파악하고 분석하기 위해서는 대규모의 신뢰할 수 있는 인용색인 데이터베이스가 필요하다. KISTI는 한국 과학기술 인용색인 데이터베이스인 KSCD를 구축하고 한국과학기술인용보고서(KJCR) 및 한국과학기술인용색인서비스(KSCI)를 제공하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내 핵심 학술지 459종의 학술지를 커버하는 KSCD를 활용하여 국내 과학기술분야 연구자들의 한국 학술지 인용행태를 분석 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 범위로는 첫째, 대상 DB 수록 학술지의 통계적 주요 수치정보를, 둘째, 인용문헌의 형태별 분석을, 셋째, 인용문헌의 국내와 해외비율 및 타분야 인용비율을, 넷째, 국내 인용문헌의 즉시인용, 인용절정기, 반감기를 마지막으로 KJCR 인용지표를 통한 학술지의 영향력 분석이다. 국내학술지 인용분석을 통한 연구의 주요 성과로는 국내 인용 학술지의 즉시인용률(평균 2.36%), 인용절정기(평균 1.7년), 반감기(평균 5.2년)의 규명과 모든 주제분야에서 자기학술지 인용률이 평균 50%를 넘는다는 것을 밝힌 것이다. 본 연구를 통해 국내 과학자들의 국내 학술지 인용행태를 과학기술 전분야에 걸쳐 종합적으로 파악할 수 있었다.
